Jalan Benaan Kapal Food Centre is a relic lost in time. Located somewhere around the Kallang Sports Hub (it ain't easy to find tbh), it initially catered to the workers in the shipyard nearby which subsequently relocated. It is now located in a gated compound surrounded by futsal and floorball pitches.

It is probably the smallest hawker centre in Singapore and apparently the only one which is not run (but still regulated) by the NEA. The hawker centre has approx 10 stalls and is bookend by two kopi stalls which serve some of the cheapest kopi in Singapore.

We were there in the morning to check out the much raved kway chap but ended up spending the entire day checking out most of the stalls there. The tea and kaya toast pictured here is from Stall 1, the left most stall in the FC which purportedly serves the cheapest cup of kopi in town.

For 70 cents a cup (if memory serves me right), you can 3 cups of decent tea from here for the price of one from any of the big chains in town. The tea is simple, no fuss, old school and a little on the milky side. I'm not a big fan of the kaya toast as the spread is a little thin and bland. That said, I ain't complaining at this price point!
